கண்ணனுக்கு முன்னாலே
அந்தக் காரியம்தான் என்னென்னவோ
அதுக்குப் பின்னாலே
He told me stories upon stories, my dear,
Right in front of Lord Krishna's idol,
And what all things transpired
Right after that!
அரைகுறையாய் புரிய வைத்தான்
அற்புத கலை
அடி யாரும் சொல்லித் தெரிவதில்லை
மன்மதக் கலை..............
He made me partially comprehend
This wondrous art of love.
Hey friend, nobody can teach and explain
The art of Manmatha...

மெல்லத் தழுவும்போது உடல் முழுதும்
கொதிக்க வைப்பானோ
From head to toe,
Will he make me shiver with excitement?
When gently embracing, my entire body
Will he make it boil with desire?
தலை தொட்டு கால் வரைக்கும்
துடிக்க வைப்பானோ
மெல்லத் தழுவும்போது உடல் முழுதும்
கொதிக்க வைப்பானோ
From head to toe,
Will he make me shiver with excitement?
When gently embracing, my entire body
Will he make it boil with desire?
வலையைப் போட்டு பின்னி
அவன் வரிசை வைப்பானோ
வலையைப் போட்டு பின்னி
அவன் வரிசை வைப்பானோ
செவ்வாயிதழில் நூறு தரம்
பரிசு வைப்பானோ..........
Weaving a net around me,
Will he present his grand gifts?
Weaving a net around me,
Will he present his grand gifts?
On my red lips, a hundred times,
Will he shower kisses as rewards?

பருவம் கொள்வாளோ
On the soft bed, a woman's beauty,
Will he capture like a portrait?
He, expertly, enjoying
My blooming youth?
கைவிரலால் கூந்தலுக்குள்
மீன் பிடிப்பானோ
அவன் கண்ணே என்றும் பொன்னே என்றும்
கடை விரிப்பானோ......
With his fingers in my long hair,
Will he play like catching fish?
Calling me 'my eyes' and 'my golden one',
Will he display his wares of love?
